I don't know about vanilla 4.2, but I didn't have much problems making the IDA Kit [which is based on 5.59] run under SunOS 3.x -- in addition to removing the third parameter of the openlog() call in main.c to, all I had to do was to remove the unsetenv() call in main.c and to change the way the local time zone was gathered in arpadate.c to use localtime() instead of timezone(). This gives a grand total of two new #ifdef sun's and one #ifdef LOG_MAIL [for the openlog() call]. Not quite what I would call "#ifdef sun all over the place", as a previous writer to this news group has claimed. (Sorry, had to get that out) Note that you'll need bind 4.8 to run sendmail 5.59, but I think it will compile without any problems. On the other hand, you will then also need to recompile 4.2's syslog.c since the host address field has changed. Good Luck, --Lennart Rank Xerox EuroPARC, 61 Regent St, Cambridge, CB2 1AB, England.
